The Synthesis of Novel Comb Shaped and Chiral Amphiphilic Polymers

In recent years, intensive research efforts have been committed to studying Am-phiphilic polymers, particularly in the pharmaceutical applications. These polymers have ability to form a different macromolecular architecture in the aqueous solution such as polymeric micelles. Novel combshaped, chiral and fluorescent amphiphilic polymers are important for pharmaceutical applications including hydrophobic drug solubilization. In this thesis, four chiral, combshaped and fluorescent novel amphiphilic polymers were synthesized from chitosan and perylene diimide. The compounds were analyzed using FTIR, UV-vis and Emission spectroscopy.
